Pepper, our cat

#18 Pepper, our cat

If you just thought to yourself, "you have a cat?," then it's likely you know me well and may have heard me express my dislike for pets of the feline variety.  We welcomed Pepper, who was once known as Annie, into our home as a favor to a friend.  I figured a week of pet-sitting was no big deal.  That week has now turned into a few months because my friend offered us the cat after our sitting gig ended.  The funniest part?  My unexpected love for this thing.  She's fun, furry, nearly self-maintained & has filled a tiny part of the gaping hole in my heart that wants more little people to love.  Mr. E loves her, too.  First thing every morning he runs downstairs to give her cuddles.  Another great thing?  Having a husband who's willing to clean out the litter every day.  I'm really grateful for that.
